sync safari bookmarks without icloud

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to sync safari bookmarks with google chrome.

Many people who own iPhones and iPads also use Windows computers, and if you’re one of them, chances are you use both Safari on iOS/iPadOS and Chrome on Windows. Fortunately, you can easily sync your bookmarks between both these browsers, thanks to a browser extension.

With the help of the iCloud Bookmarks Chrome extension that’s developed by Apple, you can seamlessly switch between Safari and Google Chrome across your devices without having to worry about losing your bookmarks. All your bookmarks are synced using iCloud, and they’re readily available whether you’re on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Windows PC.

Interested in setting this feature up on your computer? We’re here to help you get started, and you’ll be syncing Safari Bookmarks with Google Chrome on Windows in no time.

How to Sync Safari Bookmarks with Google Chrome on PC

Keeping your Safari bookmarks in sync with Google Chrome requires you to have iCloud for Windows installed on your PC in addition to the extension. Once you’re done with the installation, just follow the steps below:

That’s pretty much all you need to do.

From now on, when you switch to Safari on your iPhone after using Chrome on your Windows computer, you’ll find that Safari has already updated all its bookmarks to match what’s on Chrome.

Active bookmarks syncing is currently only available for Chrome, but since Microsoft’s Edge browser is now Chromium-based, you will be able to install this Chrome extension on your Edge browser by allowing extensions from other sources . Thanks to this workaround, you can keep your Edge bookmarks in sync with Safari too.

This is just one of the browser extensions that Apple offers to Chrome users. Apart from iCloud Bookmarks, there’s also an iCloud Passwords extension that allows you to use saved passwords that are stored in iCloud Keychain on your Windows PC. To use this, you need to have version 12 of iCloud for Windows or later installed on your computer.

If you use Chrome on your Mac, it’s worth noting that iCloud does not sync bookmarks between Chrome for macOS and Safari. These steps for actively syncing bookmarks only work on a Windows computer. Therefore, if you use Chrome on Mac, but Safari on your iOS device, you’re out of luck (for now anyway, or if you know a solution to this then let us know in the comments).

Now you know you can sync all your Safari bookmarks with Chrome. What do you think of this feature for Windows users? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

I wonder how this works with multiple Chrome and Safari user profiles. Can it map Safari personal profile and Chrome persona profile, and also the “work” profiles in each browser?

I might back up my bookmarks and give it a shot afterwards. I’m assuming the worst but hoping for the best.

iCloud Bookmark Sync is NOT the way to go to sync bookmarks between Safari and Chrome (on Windows) IF you use Chrome with multiple profiles(=different email accounts) because Safari does not have the concept of different profiles therefore it combines all bookmarks of all Chrome profiles. After that this joined list of bookmarks are synced down to each Windows PC/laptop so that all Chrome instances running on them (using different profiles) get this full list of bookmarks created by iCloud. As if this was not terrible enough, during the next cycles of sync, all of this Chrome instances (using different profiles) running on these different devices sync their bookmarks with iCloud which then creates duplicates. The longer the sync stays active, the more duplicates are created. In Short, iCloud Windows App can only be used, when Chrome (on Windows) is used with a single profile.

You are right. I encounter this issue when i use iCloud Bookmark Sync.

It there better solution to sync bookmark between Safari and Chrome? I mainly use Chrome on Windows system, and Safari on MacBook and iPhone.

I have tons of bookmarks in Safari and Chrome . How does the resolve conflicts between the 2 browsers? Will Safari’s bookmarks look like Chrome’s ? Or vice versa?

This is a typical big f*ck by Apple. Max users cannot use this. When I have my MBP plugged in I use Brave, better security and performance. Also it works much better with the Google Worksuite im environment because of the extensions. But when I’m on the go I use Safari because of its power efficiency.

How to sync any browser's bookmarks with your ipad or iphone.

Apple makes it easy to synchronize bookmarks between the Safari browser on a Mac and the Safari browser on iOS, but you don't have to use Safari -- or a Mac -- to sync your bookmarks back and forth.

Quick Links

Safari on a mac, internet explorer, firefox, or chrome via icloud, google chrome sync, manual bookmark sync in itunes.

You can do this with any browser. Whether you're using Chrome, Firefox, or even Internet Explorer, there's a way to sync your browser bookmarks so you can access your same bookmarks on your iPad.

Apple's iCloud service is the officially supported way to sync data with your iPad or iPhone. It's included on Macs, but Apple also offers similar iCloud bookmark syncing features for Windows.

On a Mac, this should be enabled by default. To check whether it's enabled, you can launch the System Preferences panel on your Mac, open the iCloud preferences panel, and ensure the Safari option is checked.

If you're using Safari on Windows -- well, you shouldn't be. Apple is no longer updating Safari for Windows . iCloud allows you to synchronize bookmarks between other browsers on your Windows system and Safari on your iOS device, so Safari isn't necessary.

To get started, download Apple's iCloud Control Panel application for Windows and install it. Launch the iCloud Control Panel and log in with the same iCloud account (Apple ID) you use on your iPad or iPhone.

You'll be able to enable Bookmark syncing with Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. Click the Options button to select the browser you want to synchronize bookmarks with. (Note that bookmarks are called "favorites" in Internet Explorer.)

You'll be able to access your synced bookmarks in the Safari browser on your iPad or iPhone, and they'll sync back and forth automatically over the Internet.

Google Chrome also has its own built-in sync feature and Google provides an official Chrome app for iPad and iPhone. If you're a Chrome user, you can set up Chrome Sync on your desktop version of Chrome -- you should already have this enabled if you have logged into your Chrome browser.

You can check if this Chrome Sync is enabled by opening Chrome's settings screen and seeing whether you're signed in. Click the Advanced sync settings button and ensure bookmark syncing is enabled.

Once you have Chrome Sync set up, you can install the Chrome app from the App Store and sign in with the same Google account. Your bookmarks, as well as other data like your open browser tabs, will automatically sync.

This can be a better solution because the Chrome browser is available for so many platforms and you gain the ability to synchronize other browser data, such as your open browser tabs, between your devices. Unfortunately, the Chrome browser is slower than Apple's own Safari browser on iPad and iPhone because of the way Apple limits third-party browsers, so using it involves a trade-off.

iTunes also allows you to sync bookmarks between your computer and your iPad or iPhone. It does this the old-fashioned way, by initiating a manual sync when your device is plugged in via USB. To access this option, connect your device to your computer, select the device in iTunes, and click the Info tab.

Related: How to Never Use iTunes With Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch

This is the more outdated way of synchronizing your bookmarks. This feature may be useful if you want to create a one-time copy of your bookmarks from your PC, but it's nowhere near ideal for regular syncing. You don't have to use this feature, just as you really don't have to use iTunes anymore . In fact, this option is unavailable if you've set up iCloud syncing in iTunes.

After you set up bookmark syncing via iCloud or Chrome Sync, bookmarks will sync immediately after you save, remove, or edit them.

How to Sync Safari Bookmarks with Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer

If you use Safari on a Mac or on an iPad but also use Windows , you can make life a little easier by keeping your Safari bookmarks synced with your Windows browser. Here's how to sync your bookmarks across devices between Safari and Chrome , Firefox, and Internet Explorer.

The key to this bookmarks syncing is the iCloud app, built into OS X and iOS and available for Windows.

Enable Bookmark Synchronization on a Mac

First we'll make sure that you have iCloud syncing turned on for Safari in OS X.

1. Open the System Preferences app.

2. Click iCloud.

3. Check the box for Safari if it isn't already checked. If it already is checked, you're done!

4. Click OK to confirm you want to merge your Safari bookmarks and Reading List with iCloud.

Enable Bookmark Synchronization on an iPad

The process is similar for enabling bookmark syncing on iOS.

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap iCloud.

3. Toggle the Safari option on if it isn't already on.

Enable Bookmark Synchronization in Windows

On your Windows PC, you'll need to download and set up iCloud to sync your bookmarks with your Apple devices.

1. Download iCloud for Windows from Apple's site ..

2. Install iCloud using the installation wizard. You'll be prompted to restart the computer to complete the installation.

3. Open the iCloud app. You can do this from the Start menu.

4. Sign in with your Apple ID .

5. Click the Options button next to Bookmarks.

6. Select the browsers you want to sync bookmarks with Safari.

7. Click OK.

8. Click Apply to finish setting up synchronization.

With the steps above completed, whenever you add or remove bookmarks on one device, they'll be synced to your other devices and selected browsers. Note that iCloud won't, however, sync between Safari and Firefox or Chrome on the Mac.

Currently I use Chrome on my Mac and android. I'd like to use Safari instead on my mac but I'd want to sync bookmarks automatically between them. Is there any way of doing this or do I just have to import my bookmarks manually and then manually update them from time to time?

Synced bookmarks between two different browsers? On two different OS'es? I'm guessing no. I'm using Mozilla Firefox (have been for years, like it very much, comparing with other browsers now and then) and it syncs my bookmarks across my apple devices. Recommended. And I would think that it would sync between Android and Apple devices, though I haven't tried it.

jagooch said: How well did it work? I use multiple Google Chrome user profiles to separate work and personal browsing, so wonder if the icloud bookmarks extension lets you select which profile Safari syncs with . Add to that the fact that Safari now supports multiple user profiles, and it gets a whole lot of complicated. For example , perhaps I want Safari personal profile to sync with Chrome's personal profile, and also do the same thing for the work profiles. Apple could just solve this with Safari for Windows, but I guess they want to leave that browser dead. Click to expand...

He decided to hide his engineering degree in the closet to pursue his passion for writing. Over the past 6 years, he has contributed with guides, reviews, and detailed opinions to notable publications like TechPP and XDA-Developers – before donning the Editor hat at Guiding Tech Media.

Adding bookmarks is a convenient feature across web browsers. Apple devices use iCloud to sync saved Safari bookmarks across different devices sharing the same account. You can even organize bookmarks on Safari according to your requirement.

At times, you may struggle if the Safari bookmark syncing does not reflect on your Mac. If you’ve added a bookmark on your iPhone or iPad and it doesn’t show up on your Mac, it can impact your workflow. Should you be facing an issue with your iCloud syncing Safari bookmarks on your Mac, here are your top bets to identify and fix this issue.

1. Connect to a Stable Wi-Fi Network

Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection to begin the troubleshooting. Sometimes, an unstable Wi-Fi network may hinder a proper bookmark sync. This would affect the added bookmark reflecting on your Mac from your other synced devices.

Also, a metered Wi-Fi connection like a mobile hotspot may not facilitate syncing bookmarks. Hence, a Wi-Fi network with high bandwidth is preferable.

2. Enable iCloud Sync for Safari

If there is no issue in your Wi-Fi network, check if the iCloud sync for Safari is on. The bookmarks on Safari will not reflect on your Mac without enabling the iCloud sync for Safari. You’ll need to turn on this sync option on all devices using the same iCloud account. Here’s how to enable iCloud sync for Safari.

iCloud Sync for iPhone

Note that the following steps would apply to an iPad as well.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on your name at the top of the Settings screen.

Step 3: Then, press the iCloud option.

Step 4:  Tap on Show All.

Step 5: Now scroll down to locate the Safari option. Enable the toggle next to it. If the toggle is already turned on, turn it off by tapping on it. Then, re-enable the toggle to turn it on.

You’ve now enabled Safari iCloud sync on your iPhone/iPad. It is now time to repeat the process on your Mac.

iCloud Sync for Mac

Step 1: Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your Mac’s screen.

Step 2: Select the System Preferences option.

Step 3: Then, click on Apple ID.

Step 4: Choose the iCloud option in the left pane.

Step 5: Scroll down on the right pane till you find Safari. Then, tick the checkbox next to it. Should the toggle already be enabled, turn it off and re-enable it.

3. Login With the Same Apple ID on All Your Devices

One prerequisite for the bookmarks to sync across your Apple devices – the same Apple account on all the Apple devices. Here’s how you can check all the devices linked to your Apple ID.

Step 1:  Click on the Apple logo on the top-left corner of your Mac’s screen.

Step 2:  Select System Preferences.

Step 3:  Click on Apple ID on the top-left side of the window.

Step 4:  You will see the list of your Apple products signed in to your Apple ID on the bottom-left side.

If your devices don’t appear there, log in with the same Apple ID on your iPhone and Mac. Then, try seeing if the bookmarks are syncing. You can also use the universal clipboard feature across all devices.

4. Update Safari From the App Store

Every piece of software contains bugs and errors. These bugs tend to cause deficiencies in the smooth use of any software. Enter – software updates. Software updates could eliminate these bugs and errors in turn resolving the issue you’re facing.

So, Safari may be glitching due to a bug on your Mac. Update the Safari from the App Store on your Mac and check if your iCloud enables bookmark sync. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1:  Open the App Store on your Mac.

Step 2:  Click on the Updates section in the left pane.

Step 3:  If an update is available for Safari, it’ll appear on that screen. Click on the Update button and wait for the newer version of the app to be installed.

5. Delete PLIST files of Safari

Deleting the PLIST file of an app on Mac is the equivalent of resetting the app’s preferences. So, this tip is as good as installing the app for the first time and setting it up. You could clear the PLIST files and start with a clean slate. See if this solution could cater to solving the issue of bookmark not syncing on your Mac. Here’s how to do that.

Step 1:  Open a new Finder window on your Mac.

Step 2:  Click on the Go option located at the top of your screen on the menu bar.

Step 3:  Press and hold the Option key on your keyboard. You will see the Library option listed in the drop-down menu. Click on it.

Step 4:  Scroll down and double-click on the Preferences folder to open it.

Step 5:  In the list of files, find ‘com.apple.Safari.plist’ file and delete it.

Step 6:  Open the Safari app and your Mac will create a new PLIST file for the app.

Sync in a Blink

Following these steps should help you sync your Safari bookmarks in the blink of an eye! Having your bookmarks synced across all devices can ease your workflow and can help you navigate through websites at a faster pace.

Hello gbailie,

To transfer Safari bookmarks from your iPhone to another device, you can use the iCloud service provided by Apple. Here's how to do it:

• On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
• Tap on your name at the top of the screen to access your iCloud settings.
• Tap on iCloud.
• Scroll down and tap on Safari.
• Turn on the toggle next to "iCloud Bookmarks".

This will sync your Safari bookmarks to your iCloud account, which you can then access on other devices by signing in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.

To access your bookmarks on another device:

• On the other device, open the Safari app.
• Tap on the bookmarks icon (it looks like an open book).
• Tap on the iCloud tab at the top of the screen.
• Your bookmarks will be listed here.

Alternatively, you can also transfer your bookmarks by exporting them from Safari on your iPhone and importing them into the browser on your other device. To do this:

• On your iPhone, open the Safari app.
• Tap on the bookmarks icon.
• Tap on the bookmarks tab at the bottom of the screen.
• Tap on the Edit button in the top-right corner of the screen.
• Tap on the bookmark you want to export.
• Tap on the Share button (it looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it).
• Tap on the "Add to Home Screen" option.
• Enter a name for the bookmark and tap on the Add button.

This will create a bookmark on your home screen that links to the page. You can then transfer this bookmark to your other device by emailing it to yourself or using a file-sharing app.

If this doesn't help please view this link --> If your iCloud or Safari bookmarks aren’t syncing - Apple Support

If none of these work please contact Apple Customer Service.

Best regards,

KevTechSupport

Syncing Microsoft Edge and Safari bookmarks via icloud

With my previous laptop, i could sync my chrome bookmarks on my laptop with the safari bookmarks in my ipad using icloud and choosing 'chrome' in the browser selection in the icloud application in the laptop (there are 3 choices there: internet explorer, Firefox and Chrome). That worked fine.

Now I have a new laptop with Microsoft Edge on it. Suppose I import all the bookmarks from Chrome to Edge, can i now sync the Edge bookmarks with the safari bookmarks on the ipad using icloud in the same way. I am asking because there is no "Edge" entry in the icloud application. What shall i choose (if possible at all..) in this case (IE-?, Firefox-No!, Chrome-No!). Is this doable or shall i stay with chrome on new laptop and safari on ipad ?

Hi sh1406 ,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

It sounds like that you currently need to sync bookmarks to the Microsoft Edge. As Chrome and iClound are not a product of Microsoft, we cannot provide you with more help, but here are some suggestions:

Since there is no option to sync directly to the Edge, it seems like you have to take two steps.Since IE and Edge are the products of Microsoft, you can try to sync IE first and then sync to Edge.And Since Edge and Chrome are the same core, you can try to sync Chrome first and then sync to Edge.

If direct synchronization does not solve the problem, you can try to export bookmarks from other browsers and then import Edge.

For this,kindly check：

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your feedback.

This is easily doable, though not necessarily intuitive. Since Microsoft Edge can install Chrome extensions, you simply need to install the iCloud Chrome extension in Edge ( iCloud Bookmarks - Chrome Web Store (google.com) ) and select Chrome in the iCloud application (you might want to remove the extension from your Chrome application in order to prevent conflicts).

I've just used this setup successfully to sync Edge bookmarks with Safari on iOS (iPhone and iPad); it seems the iCloud application accepts the sync instructions from Edge because it is the same engine (Chromium).

Thank you for your reply.

For the time beeing , i decided to stay with chrome/safari combo, since it works fine and sufficiently fast for me and i am familiar with it.

I will keep your post anyway if i need it in the future.

Thanks again.

Installing iCloud for Windows

To begin the process of syncing your Chrome bookmarks with Safari, you'll first need to install iCloud for Windows on your PC. This step is crucial, as iCloud for Windows serves as the bridge that allows you to seamlessly integrate your Chrome bookmarks with Safari across your Apple devices.

Here's a step-by-step guide to installing iCloud for Windows:

Download iCloud for Windows : Start by visiting the official Apple website to download the iCloud for Windows application. You can easily find the download link on the iCloud section of the website. Once you've located the download link, click on it to initiate the download process.

Run the Installer : Once the download is complete, locate the installer file on your computer and double-click on it to run the installation wizard. Follow the on-screen prompts to proceed with the installation. You may need to grant the necessary permissions for the installation to proceed smoothly.

Sign In to Your Apple ID : After the installation is complete, launch the iCloud for Windows application. You'll be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID, you'll need to create one to proceed. If you already have an Apple ID, simply enter your credentials to sign in.

Select the Features to Sync : Within the iCloud for Windows application, you'll have the option to select the features you want to sync with your Windows PC . Ensure that the "Bookmarks" option is checked to enable the syncing of your Chrome bookmarks with Safari.

Complete the Setup : Once you've selected the desired features, proceed to complete the setup process. The iCloud for Windows application will now begin syncing the selected features, including your bookmarks, with your Windows PC.

By following these steps, you'll successfully install iCloud for Windows and set the stage for syncing your Chrome bookmarks with Safari. With iCloud for Windows up and running on your PC, you're now ready to move on to the next steps, which involve enabling bookmarks in iCloud for Windows and initiating the syncing process.

Safari iCloud Bookmarks Not Updating on Other Devices

Sometimes you may experience that Safari bookmarks are not syncing across devices. If you are using iCloud, your Safari bookmarks and your Reading List will stay up to date across all your Apple devices. For example, if you add a bookmark to your bookmarks (e.g., Favorites list) on your Mac, your Favorites list on your iPhone will also be automatically updated to reflect the change. If you are having issues using iCloud bookmarks or Reading List, this article can help. I list several steps you can try in order to fix your bookmark syncing issue.

I should note that Safari bookmarks in iCloud are end-to-end encrypted. This means that only you can access your bookmarks.

First things to check

Let’s make sure we cover the basics.

• Ensure that there are no iCloud outages . Go to the Apple System Status page and find the “iCloud Bookmarks & Tabs” option and check if there are any issues.
• iPhone or iPad: Settings > General > Date & Time.
• Mac: Apple  menu > System Preferences, then click Date & Time.
• Make sure that you are using the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
• iCloud uses the Internet to work, thus if you have no Internet, Safari bookmarks will not sync.
• iPhone or iPad: Settings > General > Software Update.
• Mac: Apple  menu > System Preferences > Software Update.
• iPhone or iPad: Settings > [your name] > iCloud and ensure that Safari is enabled.
• Mac: Apple  menu > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and ensure that Safari is selected.
• Restart your device(s) to see if Safari is showing bookmarks now.

Turn iCloud for Safari off, then on again

You can turn iCloud for Safari off and on. This will force iCloud to re-sync and may fix this problem. I was having this problem too, and this is what worked for me. Here is how:

iPhone or iPad

• Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
• Scroll down a little and find Safari.
• Toggle the switch off.
• A menu will appear saying “What would you like to do with the previously synced iCloud Safari data on your iPhone (or iPad)?” There will be two options: “Keep on My iPhone or iPad,” and “Delete from my iPhone or iPad.” If your Safari data is on another device already, choose Delete, if not, choose Keep.

• Wait a few seconds and then restart your iPhone or iPad.
• Again go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > and turn on Safari. You will be asked what you would like to do with existing local Safari data on your iPhone. Choose Merge.
• That’s it. Your Safari bookmarks will slowly appear as iCloud syncs data.
• On your Mac, open System Preferences and click Apple ID. Select iCloud from the left-side menu, then find Safari in the list.
• Uncheck the box next to Safari.
• Restart your Mac.
• Go to System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and re-check the box next to Safari.

Now, iCloud Safari bookmarks should start working again.

In this article, I explained how you can fix the Safari bookmark syncing problem. I was having this issue too, and when I turned off, then on again iCloud for Safari in the iCloud settings, the problem was resolved. I hope the same fix works for you too.

Keep your Safari bookmarks, Reading List and tabs up to date with iCloud

With iCloud, your Safari bookmarks, Reading List, and open browser tabs stay up to date on all your devices.

Access the same bookmarks, Reading List and tabs on all your devices

When you set up iCloud for Safari , your Safari bookmarks, Reading List, Tab Groups and open browser tabs are stored in the cloud, which frees up space on your device. You can access that information on any device that is set up for iCloud and Safari, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac. You can access your bookmarks on a Windows computer.

Because your information is in the cloud, changes you make on one device — like bookmarking a new website, removing an item from your Reading List or opening a new tab — automatically appear on all your devices. You see the most up‑to‑date version of your bookmarks, Reading List, Tab Groups and open browser tabs, no matter where you access them.

Restore your bookmarks on all your devices

Your bookmarks are archived automatically. You can use iCloud.com to restore an archived version on all your devices if you ever need to.

Collaborate on Tab Groups

You can collaborate on Tab Groups with friends and family who use iCloud. When collaborators add or remove a tab from the group, everyone sees those changes in real time.
